Shasta Youth Peer Court

Shasta Youth Peer Court The Shasta Youth/Peer Court was created as a program of the Youth Violence Prevention Council to pro in Redding.

The Shasta County Youth/Peer Court was created as a program of the Youth Violence Prevention Council in October 2003, to provide a means by which first time juvenile offenders could be diverted from the traditional juvenile justice system into a program which practices restorative, rather than punitive justice. By agreeing to participate in the program, the offenders, called respondents, have the

opportunity to have their cases heard before a jury of their peers. If the respondent successfully completes his or her sentence and does not reoffend while in the program, the record for that offense is cleared. As the name implies, the peer jurors and attorneys in Youth/Peer Court are youths between the ages of 13-18 from middle and high schools throughout Shasta County. The Shasta County Youth/Peer Court has over 100 student volunteers in the program each year and sixty or more adult volunteers. Court is generally held once a week in the evenings from 6:00-8:00 p.m. See the court calendar for a listing of court dates and locations.
